It seems like it should be-- and at least it tastes better than sublingual Xanax.

Not really, because it takes so long to kick in.
But, other benzos, with the exception of alazopram (sp? -- xanax basically) since it tastes so awful, ARE very effective sublingually.

I assume your answer includes Diazepam (Valium basically). Will the effects kick in faster if I take my Valium dose sublinguilly rather than swallowing the tablets whole ???
And can doing this also minimise any possible stomach upsets from the meds???
Eagerly awaitng your reply
Thankyou

Hello once more Fairnymph
I've revived this thread beacause I think Dr Bob archived my question before you may have had a chance to read and answer my question.
Basically I'd like to know if the absorption and efficacy of valium is more effective if taken sublingually rather than swallowed whole???
warm regards

Yes, valium acts more quickly and is more potent when taken sublingually.
